Why Wattpad Drives Me Crazy | ✔️

35| What's The Time (Grr)

Guys again I just want to keep thank y'all for all the reads and votes and comments and messages and posts on my message board

I wish I could hug each and every one of you 'cause you're all just all amazingly beautiful people

Even the guys

Do any guys even read this book lol

::

So the topic that I'm going to rant on today is one that I should have done AGES ago - authors who haven't the concept of TIME and TENSES.

So like I'll be reading a story in the past tense then it suddenly turns into present

Then past

Then fucking future.

Jokes. No one ever uses future tense.

Anyway, it annoys me no end! Like the author is feeling so sexy and professhhh (professional) when their character fucking woke up and washed the dishes and heads to school

See what I did there? I mixed the tenses, you noticed?

Meh.

We ate the fabulous chicken that Helsinki had made for us.

"It's so good!" I laugh, flashing him a big smile. He looked at me, and is blushing.

"For you, my lovely Nairobi."

"Thanks for inviting me," Santiago says, while he munched on the flightless bird.

Johannesburg was supposed to be here but she is late

Copenhagen is sexy but he ate badly

::

That was completely random. The names, I mean. Can you name which countries those are capital cities of?

Capital cities are my thing OMG I can name almost all of them

Even of those countries you've never heard of like St.Kitts and Nevis

Lol

Kay, back on track. Choo, choo. Bitch.

So basically I don't understand why it's so difficult for you to -

Just leave it

Ugh

This rant sucks

I need to recollect myself

Past tense - it happened

Present tense - it is happening

I don't remember how to rant, give me a few seconds to recollect myself

Okay, so I recollected myself.

Thing is, messing up the tenses will mess up the whole fucking story - even if it's intended to be the best one in the world, if you don't know the freaking difference there's a problem

Like maybe you missed that 3rd Grade lesson

I usually feel like the author is confused. Like they've got much on their brain? And it would somewhat reflect in their stories.

I don't know what to say. Just that you can't be feeling like you're an amazing author when you can't even sort out your tenses

Dunno

OMG I JUST REALISED THAT I'D COPY PASTED THE WHOLE OF YESTERDAY'S RANT ON HERE

HOW EMBARRASSING

get your shit together genie_us (and you're really not living out your name right now).

Fml k bye
